We have never met, and now I know you are brilliant, wickedly funny, courageous, real, and loving. I also know you can flat write. Thank you for sharing your human journey. Can you say you’re “proud” of someone you’ve never met? I think so.

This is such a powerful story, thank you sharing it with us. I got teary eyed reading about your experience and Amber’s suffering. No woman deserves to have the experience she did, and my heart aches for women in red states where a pregnancy, unwanted or wanted, can pose such a risk to their life. This election is so vital to women’s rights. 💙

Thank you for sharing your story! I recognize the grief on a path not taken, and this is not the same as regret. Talking about reproductive rights is so important. ♥️

Thank you for sharing! These stories are always so complex to share (for the writer), and I take (as a reader) but so necessary, helpful, enlightening, validating, and human. I applaude you and thank you! (And you’re writing is fantastic- I couldn’t stop)
